Usually in the United States private residence building codes do not allow rooms with these type of windows to be used as bedrooms. One of the windows in a bedroom always has to open wide enough to allow a person to exit through it. Many home remodelers get caught on this one when they attempt to convert a room designed for another purpose into a bedroom. Cheers, Jim

Haha well in Australia the people writing the residential building codes seem to have a "no worries she'll be right mate" attitude.
What's the rule on flyscreens and steel security bars in the States? They also prevent someone getting through the window.
